We Want You to Succeed as a Foster Parent
Methodist Foster Care works hard to make sure our foster families are successful!  We begin our work by providing the training and information required to achieve certification.  Then we can conduct the required home studies and background checks to ensure our children are placed in secure, loving homes.

After being recruited, trained and certified, we work to ensure the best fit we can between a foster child and your trained, certified, therapeutic foster home.  We are on call 24/7 for our foster parents!

We provide the most generous daily board rate available in Louisiana for therapeutic foster care which reimburses for clothing, room and board, and other needs.  We also provide routine, on-going training and special training on specific topics.  In addition, when you need assistance or information, we are there to support you and enhance the care you provide to a child who needs a home. When you need a break – and we know you will – we have Respite Care available.

Foster Parents Qualifications
These are the requirements for Therapeutic Foster Parents:

  • You must be at least 25 years of age.
  • You may be single or married.
  • You must have a combination of 4 years of college or direct experience.
